While self-evaluation can be a source of anxiety, it's a necessary step to ensure the selection of gentle and calm designs. This year, a panel of judges, whose introduction will follow, will be responsible for this task. In the previous year, we entrusted this responsibility to nine renowned designers spanning different generations.
